Squirrel's Famous Winter Feast - Susanna Hill Holiday Contest

I have pine sap on my fingers, flour on my shirt, and strings of popcorn everywhere...it must be time for Susanna Leonard Hill's Annual Holiday Contest!

The Contest: Write a children's story beginning with any version of "Rocking around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop." Your story may be poetry or prose, silly or serious or sweet, religious or not, based on Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or whatever you celebrate, but is not to exceed 350 words No illustration notes please. Your entry should be posted on your blog between right now this very second and Friday December 11 at 11:59 PM EST.

I must have been feeling stressed about entertaining when this idea developed, but I *think* my parties have a better track record than poor Squirrel's. (Though I did make a dreadful crunchy hummus once.)

Happy Holidays everyone and may all your entertaining go well! See all the other rocking entries at Susanna's site.

So nice that the animals put friendship first - perfect for the season! What a fun story! Favorite line: “I spent all morning stringing those brown berries,” Squirrel said.“I don’t think those are berries, Squirrel,” Deer whispered.Hahaha! :)Happy Holidays, Lauri, and thanks so much for joining in the contest fun!
